Abstract excerpt
Sterols are essential lipids for plant growth, and the sterol content is tightly regulated by a fail-safe system consisting of two processes: 1) suppression of excess sterol production by a negative regulator of sterol biosynthesis (HIGR STEROL ESTER 1, HISE1), and 2) conversion of excess sterols to sterol esters by PHOSPHOLIPID STEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE 1 (PSAT1) in Arabidopsis thaliana. The hise1-3 psat1-2 double...
